What? You want to know who they are? Aren't you afraid of me already?" The mayor's son stepped closer. He stared at Kevin with a haughty look, trying to determine if he was afraid.
"You can't run around terrorizing people, even if your father is the mayor!" Kevin frowned upon seeing that Leena was shaking. He moved to pull the car door open and get her coat, but found that Claire had already taken out his army coat and put it around Leena's shoulders.
Leena, put this coat on, otherwise you will catch a cold." Claire had been sitting inside the car. Seeing that Leena was shivering, she took the coat that Kevin hung on the back of his seat and got outside. She was worried that Leena would catch a cold in this weather.
Thank you, Claire." Leena tightened the coat around her, feeling warm on the outside as well as in her heart. Leena was touched by Claire's gesture, no matter why she did it. She was very easy to please.
You... You are a Major General?" The mayor's brash son saw the dazzling epaulets on Leena's military coat and stiffened. He was, after all, the son of the mayor. He knew what the epaulets represented.
Does that make any difference?" Kevin seemed as cold as ever. He hated these spoiled brats. They depended on their parents and made a nuisance in the city. Kevin was also the son of a high-ranking officer, but he never relied on his family name. Everything he had today was earned through his own efforts.
There is a difference, of course. If you had told me who you were before, we would not have bothered you." The man's voice was much lower and less arrogant than before. He knew how powerful a Major General was.
"Listen, it doesn't matter that you wouldn't have bothered us. You should think about whether I'm going to spare you now. Your father is the mayor? So what? You think you can do wrong just because you are the son of a political figure?"
"Major General, I didn't know this beautiful woman was your wife. We'll cover the cost of the car repair. As for her mobile phone, we will buy her a new one. Just please don't tell my father. Please!" The mayor's son groveled. It was the first time he had run into a stone wall and gotten into trouble. Previously, whenever he told people that he was the mayor's son, they would simper and hand him over everything that he asked for. Today, however, he had the misfortune of provoking a Major General. He didn't expect that a rich girl with a fancy car would marry a soldier.
"If I was an ordinary citizen, would you let me go?" Kevin asked contemptuously as a sardonic smile flashed across his face.
Of course. We are targeting people who drive fancy cars. Ordinary people can't afford to buy luxury cars or give us the compensation we want." The mayor's son bowed his head. His father had no idea what he was doing outside. If the mayor found out, he was done for. Right now, he could only beg Kevin to forgive him. Unlike most people whom he troubled, Kevin was a Major General. He could contact the mayor easily.
Tell me, how many times have you done this?" Kevin's expression was serious. There was no hint of a smile on his handsome face.
"Not often. We've been spending a lot recently and we can't get money from home. That's why we're doing this." The mayor's son answered honestly, wringing his hands.
"Yes! We are just bluffing the rich people, not ordinary citizens. Major General, please don't tell our parents about this. I promise we'll never do such a thing again." Another young man begged, and thought, 'If my family know that I do this, they would never spare me.'
So you think it serves the rich people right to be blackmailed by you guys, don't you?" Kevin gave them an icy stare that sent a shiver down their spines.
No, that's not what we meant." The young men said at the same time. They had been overconfident and never run into trouble before. But this time, they had angered a Major General. The men trembled under his gaze, frightened.
"That's not what you said before. You said you want to teach me a good lesson!" Leena said in anger. 'My back is still aching.' She thought, 'I don't want Kevin to let them go so easily! What if they bother some other women tomorrow? These boys are capable of worse things.'
"That was just a joke, ma'am. Don't take it seriously." The boys had been arrogant before, but now they dejectedly stood with their head bent. They quickly refuted what she said.
"Don't take it seriously? Sorry, but I'm serious about everything. Didn't you force me to give you money? Go ahead! How much do you want, you cowards?" Leena sneered at them. 'You were being so arrogant and self-important before! Why do you look like cowards now? You bullies, I won't let you off today. Otherwise you all would really think you can do whatever you want in this city.' Leena thought.
"If you want, you can even let us buy you a new car. How dare we ask you for money?" The mayor's son fawned over her with an ingratiating smile, and cursed inwardly, 'I'm so stupid. How could I anger the wife of a major general?'
He's right. Please spare us. We didn't mean to hit you just now." Another young man whispered. Leena didn't even mention that fact; he took the initiative himself to announce that he had hit her. What a fool!
What?! You guys hit her? Which one of you did that?!" Kevin hadn't meant to do anything serious to them. He threatened to tell their parents, but that was only to frighten them into not committing the crime again. But now, knowing that they hit Leena, he immediately changed his mind.
Uh... It was me, but I didn't mean to do it." The young man drew back as he spoke. At this moment, Kevin looked like Satan. He was so frightening that the young man was afraid to stand in front of him.
Soon, a clear snapping sound was heard, followed by a howl. Kevin had grabbed the young man's hand and broken it. He was so fast that no one saw how he approached the man.
"I'm just teaching you a lesson. Real men don't hit women. I don't care who your parents are, or how high their positions in society are. If you're not happy with what I just did, you can tell me right now," Kevin said quietly. He looked so menacing that no one dared to approach him. Even Leena was scared of him. She didn't know that a gentle man like Kevin could become so terrifying.
The young man with the broken hand kept howling, not daring to meet Kevin's eyes. He was scared out of his wits. He did not know how his hand was broken in a flash. All he heard was a clear sound, following which he felt the stark pain. It had been too late to stop the Major General.
"Kevin." Leena looked at Kevin apprehensively, fearing that this could affect his career. Bureaucracy could be complicated and unpredictable in such cases.
